Embedded Processing at the Heart of Life and Style

From pacemakers through mobile phones to passenger jets, most people deal with electronic devices empowered by embedded processor cores, every day, without a second thought. This penetration into everyday lives across such a broad range of applications requires the embedded core developer to work in close partnership with many of the world's leading semiconductor companies and OEMs, demanding close attention to technology trends, from fundamental technology up to application requirements. Just as vacuum tubes gave way to CMOS to enable the computing revolution, CMOS may need to cede its dominance to new materials if we are to achieve the next revolution in intelligent consumer devices.
